For some people, it’s not Christmas without a real Christmas tree. Cutting it down. The wonderful smell. And even cleaning up needles at the end of the season.
If you do choose a natural Christmas tree for as your holiday’s centerpiece, make sure you’re doing so safely .
Cut the base at a 45 degree angle and store in water.
Place tree away from sources of heat.
Use only non-flammable decorations.
Use lighting that has been evaluated by a recognized laboratory.
Inspect lights for frayed wires or other defects before putting them on the tree.
Do not leave lights on unattended.
Keep tree stand filled with water at all times.
Once the tree dries out, discard it promptly.
